Had lunch at Tara Thai on Rockville Pike today. We had Beef Mussamunn and Pad Thai. Both entrees were delicious and nice portion. The service was prompt, friendly and professional. The restaurant atmosphere and decor and the main entrance look however, needs some upgrading and clean up. Perhaps some Thai decor for the interior would give the place a bit more authentic feel. Removing stacks of patio chairs covered with tarp next to the entrance would take away some of the unpleasant look of the exterior. With the hand-written notice on the door and stacked up chairs we actually thought the place was closed from 20 feet away and almost didn 't go in. Turned out the notice said use other door.
AMAZING!! Didnt get the friendliest of greetings, but the server was great. My first time there and I was in awe of the asethtics, it is beautiful inside with a underwater theme. I was skeptical on food, I am a picky eater, but the food was great! I had a good portion size. The drink was great. I will definitely go back next time I am in town.
The restaurant was empty and very quiet; but they had a ton of takeout orders being picked up. Our server was pleasant and showed the correct amount of attention. The food was hot, fresh and delicious! Parking: The lot was crowded, but people were probably out doing post Christmas shopping. The lot had parking near top of the lot.
I have eaten here several times it’s never bad. Middle of the road average Thai food and I would know because I’ve been to Thailand and have the real stuff. Me and my partner are usually split a red and green curry if I’m in the mood, I order an appetizer like calamari. I’m feeling lazy I order from here.

Tara Thai used to be my go-to place for Thai food, but I had a very disappointing experience last week. The quality of the food has really declined. The fried rice was overly greasy and mushy, while the beef salad was terrible—too salty and extremely dry.
This restaurant offers the best Thai food in the Bethesda/Rockville area. The service is quick, and the decor is truly impressive. It seems that their relocation from downtown Bethesda was a successful decision.
I thought it was permanently closed...Irishly, it was indeed open.... I had the Drunken Noodle....awesome....we have an event nearby and will definitely recommend this place to other congressors....
The atmosphere is good. The Tom yum soup is a bit salty. In general, this is a fine restaurant for late dinner and affordable price.

Best Thai cuisine in the city. Great service also and with a reasonable price. I will definitely be back for more!
